Buona per merenda
A great newfound pleasure. Equal to the one my late mother used to make. To taste it is to find myself with her.
Simply an original and very, very FINE
Delicious, a marvel. Too bad you can't find it in the Fribourg region. Sniff.
There are things in life that are indeed impossible to resist. Lovers of sweets, for example, know that it would be impossible for them to eat a meal without dessert or take a well-earned break without a slice of cake with their coffee or tea. It's the same for me; every time I'm in Ticino, whether I'm passing through or at an event, I grab one or two of these cakes. I became aware of the "Torta di pane nostrano" when it was on sale for SFr. 9.20 in May 2010. A stroke of luck, because we both like it! Since Migros, thank you Daniel, confirmed that I can get the torta di pane nostrano anywhere in Ticino, I will take two with me to the "Alto Lario" in Colico, where I will spend my vacations after Easter, because that was my second home, we lived by the lake with a view of the Fuentes* fortress, which was still a restricted military area at the time.
On the way back, I will make a stopover in Lugano to pick up the cakes I ordered on the outward journey. More about the pastries in a month or so *The Spanish ruler Pedro Enriquez Acevedo Conte di Fuentes decided to build the fortress on the summit of the Moteggiolo hill near Colico in October 1609. For decades, the Fuentes fortress took on the task of controlling and protecting the surrounding areas. In 1735, the Duchy of Milan passed under Austrian rule, and in 1769 the Austrian Emperor Joseph II declared the fortress to be of no military use following an inspection. Between 1915 and 1918, during the First World War, a heavy field artillery post was built on the Fuentes hill to protect the defensive line (Linea Cadorna). The concrete fortification to the north of the ruins of the Fuentes fortress is still well preserved and visible today. From 1987, the Fuentes fortress and the hill became the property of the province of Como and then of the province of Lecco. Today, thanks to the valuable work of the "Associazione Forte di Fuentes", the hill can be visited - and a trip to Colico without a visit to this legendary site is unthinkable.
mhh, looks good. will probably only be sold in ticino again :(
Good
